Nikon D1X vs Nikon D2Hs Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through specifications. The visual here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the D1X and D2Hs.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon D1X to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The older D1X will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
